I would have thought that lowering the metabolic rate would merely encourage weight gain. When I was hypothyroid in 2001/2002, I gained ~28lbs. I don't think that this would lengthen my life. Quite the opposite.

Where is your Vitamin D3? Can't be getting much from sunlight right now all the way up there in Siberia?

NigeMitochondria is normally inherited from the mother. Though in fruit flies mitochondria is shown to be paternal sometimes! Would imagine human mitochondria to be different to fruit flies in many ways.

Pretty interesting what DNP does on fruit flies. I'd rather they didn't have a longer life span though - complete pests in some parts of the tropics!
